Campsites with swimming in Devon

·

Devon’s swimming spots are tough to beat, and with over 340 campsites offering easy access to the water, you won’t run out of places to pitch up. From wild dips in rivers to sheltered coves along the coast, this region keeps things interesting. You’ll find campsites like South Dean Camping (169 reviews), Goren Farm (46 reviews), and Secret Spot Camping Saunton (38 reviews) leading the charge, each with its own character and loyal regulars. Most sites welcome pets and come with toilets and showers, so you can focus on the swim, not the facilities. Prices start at just £9 a night, though the average runs around £55. When the water has cooled you off, the surfing, hiking trails, and wildlife-watching in Devon give you plenty of reasons to stay out of your tent a bit longer.
